buddha Posted 7 hours ago Posted 7 hours ago From the athletic: potential TPE uses for the pistons and their $14 million exception. bobby portis kelly olynk luke kennard sam hauser max christie the only guys on this list who get moved, imo, are kennard and maybe christie. i dont want kennard unless there is no one else. he's duncan robinson without the try hard effort on D. he'd be hunted just like robinson is going to be hunted. christie i would take a look at, but ehat would dallas need to move him? a first rounder? is he worth that? i guess if there is no oyher alternative to use that pick in a trade...

Deleterious Posted 7 hours ago Author Posted 7 hours ago Christie is mostly a shooting specialist. Maybe if they snag him, try to trade Robinson and his contract to upgrade other places. Quote
Betrayer Posted 6 hours ago Posted 6 hours ago I'd love to add Portis, but I'm not sure how much more crazy we need on the team. Quote
Deleterious Posted 1 hour ago Author Posted 1 hour ago Sam has another possibility for their trade exception. We get Coby White and we send Chicago this years first and two future seconds. He fits into the the trade exception. Quote Why the Pistons make this move: Detroit still hasn’t figured out the best option for a secondary ballhandler next to Cade Cunningham. Jaden Ivey doesn’t look like he’s 100 percent following his broken leg last year. Even if the team is still invested in him long-term, he probably can’t be trusted at this stage in his recovery for a big playoff series. Additionally, the Caris LeVert signing hasn’t gone smoothly. He’s averaging just eight points per game in 20 minutes per night, with a true-shooting percentage that is 5 percent below league average. The offense tends to be worse when he’s on the court, both with and without Cunningham. And while two-way guard Daniss Jenkins has shown great flashes, the Pistons shouldn’t feel great about him as an option, either. Quote That’s where White would come in. An unrestricted free agent at the end of the year, White could become a serious option for the Pistons both in the short- and long-term. Last year, the team acquired Schröder late in the year to be that secondary ballhandler, and he thrived. White would bring many of the same traits as an explosive scorer who can get paint touches and is also very comfortable firing from 3. He’d also bring an added shooting dimension for a Pistons team that is 27th in 3-point attempt rate this season and could use another floor-spacer next to their superstar guard. One point that could be made against this acquisition would be that White has dealt with three separate calf injuries this season that have brought him in and out of the lineup. But if White can get right, he represents the best cost-efficient scoring guard option on the market for a team that holds the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference. And if he played well, White could give Detroit insurance if it’s not comfortable paying Ivey in restricted free agency. Quote
